At first I was afraid, I bring a "tennis elbow" of the controller, but I have to say is "two-tier" controllers (one device per hand) the most comfortable thing I have ever experienced in the console area !!
For long games like Zelda you can easily, eg sit with legs raised and simply comfortably put your hands on your legs or in your lap while you press the buttons. Something went so far not because you always had to keep the controller in both hands. In this way, their hands never get tired also. The device detects the radio signals of the controller through a small sensor bar that is placed in front of the television or below it. Great, I find that the Sensor Bar, the signals of the controller even notice when you do not keep these directly towards the sensor bar, but his hands placed in his lap, for example.
Almost every game uses the motion detection, the controller in different ways. For example Zelda Link swings his sword, when moving the controller accordingly. This makes even after 30 hours of play nor animal fun !!
The fun factor is, of course, very high even with games that are fully aligned with the body movements. In the accompanying Wii Sports is a collection of Sports games (bowling, golf, boxing, etc.), which will be played on the basis of body movements: If you play as golf, the golf club swings on the screen when you swing the controller.
The downside is that you have to continually buy more batteries for the controller, especially with regular games, since he works wirelessly. Meanwhile, there are also accessories that you can charge the controller including batteries quickly.
For graphics you have to say that this does not extend far on Xbox 360 or Playstation 3 level. In mini-games such as Wii Sports or WarioWare it is even very minimalist. So you have already prefer the fun of graphics to have on the Wii its joy. Even Zelda: Twilight Princess has "only" slightly better Gamecube graphics.
Otherwise, it can be said that the Wii is very space-saving (one of the smallest console in the console history) and quiet. However, it is only suitable to play, because it plays neither DVD nor Bluray etc. from. But it is fully backward compatible: You can play any Gamecube game out and his Cube memory card and connect multiple Cube controller.
If you switch the Wii one (which goes even using the controller that is used as a remote control), a menu that looks similar to the desktop of a computer appears. In various visible windows can do different things. Apart from the games you can for example create a "Mii" in the "Mii" mode - this is a small figure which sees a self-similar. One can choose hairstyles and facial features free, similar to the "Sims", but not to this extent. These Miis (you can create as many as you want) you can then play in games like "WarioWare" or "Wii Sports". They can also provide on its controller and then take this to friends and transfer its Miis on the console or take its Miis.
In addition, the Wii has a kind of calendar function in which you can determine when you played that game how long and in which channels they had as much time traveling. In addition, you can let the account! Wii consoles by friends and then send messages to each other in the form of small note on the consoles. Is the Wii in standby mode, the disc slot lights up in blue, once you receive a message.
The online function of the Wii is great and easy. If one has at his PC via a wireless router, you can go by radio with the Wii to the Internet. It takes just 5 minutes. You simply enter only the code of its router and off you go. One then has several Kanälde: The "Weather Channel" you can then experience the world, locally precise weather or read the latest news in the "News Channel". However, the best is the "Virtual Console": An online store where you can buy old games, in the full version! There are games for the NES, Super Nintendo, Nintendo 64, Sega Megadrive, Turbografix, C64, Neo Geo and Sega Master System. There are some real bangers here, such as Super Mario 64, Zelda Ocarina of Time, Super Metroid, Super Probotector and many more. The games will be paid with so-called "Wii Points" which you can buy at the store or you pay by credit card. A game thus costs the equivalent of 6 to 12 euros. The selection is constantly growing. It loads the appropriate game after purchase to its Wii (about 2-5 minutes charging time) and can then - play using a Gamecube controller or a separately available Wii Classic Controller. The game manual is also available in digital form here, so can always call up and read on the screen during the game. In addition, can be through the online store additional extras, such as a Mii Contest Channel, download a survey channel and a browser.
As a conclusion it can be said that the Wii is fantastic suitable for multiplayer player. Many games (eg Mario Strikers Charged) can be on the Wii Network play with others. The selection of party games (eg Big Brain Academy) is remarkable.
Conclusion: The Wii is a great console that guarantees lots of fun. Solo player and graphic fetishists are however at a disadvantage. Epic games like Zelda there are only very few mini-game collections and party games on the other hand a lot. The console is nothing in between for long winter evenings, but rather for a round of gambling with friends. Games that take longer than 20-30 hours solo game's actually not. Even first person shooters, racing games, RPGs, and general "adult games" are generally sown rar, especially good. While there were many "Resident Evil" games on the GameCube, the series is now continued on Playstation3 and Xbox360. On the Wii, there are "only" "Resident Evil 4", but that there was just already on the Gamecube. But who knows, maybe come since soon after something else ... I must say, however, that the few good games out there so far (Zelda - Twilight Princess, Super Mario Galaxy) alone are worth buying the console just because they are as much what you get on Xbox360 and PlayStation3, and I am one of the best games of all time better.
Small disadvantage is the environmental impact: The Wii is still in stand-by mode, ie it always lights a lamp on the console. Can turn completely to them only when pulling out the plug.
PS Who wonders what games he needs after purchasing a Wii, I recommend ...
... For solo players:
The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess (absolutely!), Super Mario Galaxy, No More Heroes, Trauma Center, Okami (tip), Metroid Prime 3, de Blob, Wario Land The Shake Dimension and Super Paper Mario. And Resident Evil 4, when it has not been on the Gamecube.
... For Shower Fun & Internet gamers:
Mario Kart Wii, Wario Ware Smooth Moves, Mario Strikers Charged, Super Smash Bros Brawl, Animal Crossing and Big Brain Academy.
